I have been running 7 for a while now...... I have a stock 6.0 with ls6 springs and z06 cam. The truck runs good with a best of 12.51 in great weather, but i am thinking of upping it to play on the street.......

How many of you run 10psi on stock internals and what is your experience on doing this? I know most of you will say do it, but I want to be semi safe cause i DD this truck and don't wanna pop the motor!

 

DO IT!!!!!!!










































LMAO!!!... had to man... i totally understand the DD thing... just do ya homework and go with what lets you sleep at night...

 

I am running ~12lbs on the street daily. I don't go WOT on a daily basis but I really don't have a need to

Tuning will be crucial and fueling....do you run Meth yet?

 

well i can't let ya get the edge on me haha! I prolly won't change it before the meet cause i want to tune it on the higher boost before i run it! So lucky for yall ill still be on 7

 

lol. Better think about traction

My one ride in a turbo truck we started at 10lbs and I wasn't impressed but a simple push of a button and he was at 14psi and scaring the crap out of me.

 

haha yea traction is not great right now but we do some slow rolls and its fun.....

I have no meth right now so that is why im sorta skeptical.......

 

tune, iat and ect are key players

 

You just have more self control than most of us, Bill. I have to go WOT at least once when I drive somewhere. Gotta make sure nobody stole my turbo


On a more serious note, I think your 6.0 will do just fine at 10psi. As long as you make adjustments to the tune as necessary.

 

tune will be the deciding factor in this, I won't run it if the tuner says it is off a little! So do I need meth or can i run without it?

 

How are your current IATs vs ambient temp? If they're still pretty low, you could probably get away with no meth. But if you're already seeing a big deviation in temperature, even intercooled, upping boost is just going to make the charge hotter and make you have to pull some timing to compensate.
